Some songs getting renamed after transfer to device

[SuperdaveTX]

I transferred or copied about 400 songs to my iphone. I noticed that about 15 songs had the title renamed to 3 characters. ?w~ Where the ? is a really funky character kinda looks like an o with a squiggle on top of it... but not the usual tilde over an N in spanish.

Anyway, I removed all these and tried sending again, a few still had the bad name. I saw this issue with the latest build

Anyone see this before? Work around?

What device and could the filenames on the device be too long and thus get shortened?

Hi my device is an Iphone 4. The issue seemed random as the files were named fine before. I did a complete delete of all music files as I had a few songs that could not be deleted.. Iclould was turned off, but a few files still showed up. It was a very strange issue, so I wanted to start over clean.

After transferring many of my files I noticed that some files were just named wrong. For Instance, Animal by Neon Trees was named with those 3 characters.

I am using Windows 7 with the latest RC of MM. I didn't load the debug version but can do that if needed.

All files are supposed to be with a few character filenames as that's what Apple uses for naming of media files on iDevices.

Yeah, but that is not what this is...

If I wait till after I copy the song to my phone, then find it in the list of songs on my device, and play it, the title changes to those 3 characters.

If I could post a pic easily. I would do it.... I will try now.

and the original file was named properly.

One additional note. I see that my phone has the proper title. It is just that when I try to play in on MM it shows up wrong... This is strange!

This could be something that has been addressed in MediaMonkey 4.1 (not sure): http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 65#p381165

[SuperdaveTX]

That is the version I have installed.

4.1.0.1686

Should I submit a bug report or what?
